Is HTC working on THREE tablets?

HTC’s record in the tablet division is – how do I put this? – less than stellar, so it came as somewhat of a surprise to learn that the Taiwanese manufacturer is Google’s choice player for the upcoming Nexus 9 – or so rumour has it.

Even more surprisinger, we’re told that HTC has another two – yes, two – tablets in the proverbial production pipeline.

In typically terse fashion, he says only: “Besides the T1 Volantis/Flounder/Nexus 9, HTC is developing two other tablets: the T7 and T12”.

Again, no further detail is given, but it’d certainly make sense if the pair measured 7in and 12in diagonally.

HTC has kept a ridiculously low profile in the tablet sector since 2011 and the ill-fated HTC Flyer, which was followed up only by the low-key, US-exclusive HTC Jetstream.

More recently, the manufacturer was refused permission to join the first wave of Windows 8 RT tablets, while a rumoured HTC tablet with a decidedly iMac-like design emphatically failed to materialise. Incidentally, the latter accounted for @evleaks’ first-ever tweet.
